You are here

The majority of back pain symptoms stem from inflammation due to an acute injury or overuse of the muscles, joints, or tendons.

Understanding and adhering to proper posture and lifting techniques can help decrease your chance for sustaining a back injury, such as a fracture, herniated disc, or strained muscle.

However, not all causes of back pain are as easily preventable; pain can also arise from a chronic or degenerative condition or from conditions that may spontaneously occur, such as disc herniations.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms of back pain, it’s important to seek treatment from a spine specialist as soon as possible before your condition worsens.

Pain that radiates from the neck to the arm/hand

Pain that radiates from the back to the leg/foot

Pain that increases in the back, leg, or foot with standing or walking and is relieved by sitting

Pain following heavy lifting, especially if you have osteoporosis

Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs

Nerve or dexterity problems in the arms and hands
